Answer:

The scale factor used was 2

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

we know that

A dilation is a non-rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem the dilation going from the grey triangle to the yellow triangle is an enlargement and its equal to the quotient length side AC by length side DE (corresponding sides)

we have

AC=\left|4-(-8)\right|=12\ units --->absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates

DE=\left|2-(-4)\right|=6\ units --->absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates

\frac{AC}{DE}=\frac{12}{6}=2

therefore

The scale factor used was 2

Matt walker is paid weekly and earns 3.5% straight commission on sales of $6,500 or less and 5% on sales in excess of $6500.last
Nina [5.8K]
His total sales were "x"

now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more

so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x

we know, that both commissions added together, are $415

thus

0.035x + 0.05x = 415  <-----   solve for "x"

4x+32=24<br> show your work
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation:

4x + 32 = 24

Subtract 32 from 24

-8

The equation should look like this now:

4x = -8

Divide both sides by 4

x = -2

Hope this helps :)
